May we post this on the website of the cross ...Jim,<br />May we post this on the website of the cross - party Campaign for an Independent Britain?<br /><br />I thought this memory of the 1975 referendum might amuse you.<br /><br />My father was a triple dyed-in-the-wool Tory. He said " I don't like this a Europe business. There's something about it that doesn't smell right". Then he paused for a few seconds and added " But that man Wedgewood Benn's against it, so there must be some hood in it"<br /><br />I was sorry that the microphone did not come my way when my wife and I attended Tony Benn's last road dhow in Derby. I think it would have amused him.<br /><br />I did not share many of Benn's views but he was a democrat. <br />" How do I sack you?" was always his question to political leaders but, of course, with the EU Commission, there is no realistic chance of ever doing so.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.com
